How To Keep Your Bones Healthy

How to keep your bones Healthy?
Introduction
Keeping your bones healthy is an important part of living a long and active life. In fact, doing so
can help you avoid osteoporosis, which is when your bones become fragile and break easily.
Osteoporosis is a disease that affects millions of Americans every year because it’s easy to avoid
—and even easier to prevent! Here are some tips on how you can keep your bones strong:
Eat plenty of calcium-rich foods.

Calcium is a mineral that plays an important role in the formation and maintenance of healthy
bones. It's found in dairy products, green leafy vegetables, and fortified foods such as cereal,
orange juice and yogurt.
You can also get calcium from some vegetable sources like kale or collard greens; tofu; beans;
nuts (almonds, cashews); dried fruit (raisins); whole grains (whole wheat breads).
If you're not getting enough calcium from your diet but still want to make sure that you're getting
enough of this essential nutrient for strong bones there are many options available:
 Eat plenty of dairy products like milk and cheese because they are high in milk solids
which contain many vitamins A & D as well as minerals such as potassium which help
build strong muscles while building up healthy bones at the same time!
 You'll want to avoid low fat versions though since they often contain less protein than
regular brands giving them fewer nutrients per serving size compared with full fat
versions too so try finding ones without added sugar instead! Also check labels carefully
because some brands add extra sugar substitutes like maltodextrin which may not seem
harmful but actually cause problems over time if consumed regularly so watch out for
those types instead please :)
Get enough vitamin D.

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that can be found in many foods, including fortified milk and
yogurt. It's important for your bones because it helps them absorb calcium from the food you eat.
But too much vitamin D can have negative effects on your health if you don't get enough sun
exposure or make sure to take it with food.
Vitamin D is found in animal products like fish and chicken liver oil; eggs; fortified orange juice;
salmon; tuna fish (canned or fresh); sardines; cod liver oil capsules (which may not be vegan-
friendly). You'll also find it in mushrooms, green peppers, broccoli and Brussels sprouts—just to
name a few examples!
Exercise regularly.
Exercise is important for bone health, as it helps to maintain muscle mass and balance. It also
helps to maintain flexibility, which is essential for staying active and healthy. Exercising
regularly can also help you keep your mind sharp as well as prevent mental health issues like
depression or anxiety.
Exercise has many other benefits besides helping you stay fit: it can help with weight loss!
Running on a treadmill or riding a bike in the park will burn calories quickly—and those calories
are burned during exercise!
Don’t smoke and avoid secondhand smoke.

Smoking is bad for your bones. Secondhand smoke is a health hazard, even if you don't inhale it
yourself. The toxins in secondhand smoke can cause bone loss and weaken your immune system
as well as damage the heart and lungs.
The good news? It's easy to avoid secondhand smoke: don't go places where there are smokers or
their used cigarette butts; keep windows closed; don't smoke around children (especially infants);
keep home ventilation systems working properly so that stale air doesn't accumulate in rooms
with passive ventilation systems where people are likely to be sleeping or sitting down; get rid of
ashtrays before going outside on hot days so that they're less likely to contain pockets of
smoldering tobacco particles that could ignite at any time during summer months when
temperatures soar above 80 degrees Fahrenheit (27 Celsius).
Moderate your alcohol consumption.

 Moderate your alcohol consumption. A study published in the American Journal of
Public Health found that women who consumed two or more alcoholic drinks per day
were at a higher risk for developing osteoporosis compared to those who drank less than
one drink per day.
 Talk to your doctor about what amount of alcohol is right for you, especially if you have
a family history of osteoporosis or other health conditions like liver disease, diabetes and
high blood pressure (hypertension).
Avoid excessive salt in your diet.

Salt is a major source of sodium, which can increase your risk of high blood pressure and other
health problems. In fact, excessive salt consumption may be one of the most common reasons
why people develop high blood pressure in the first place.
You might not think to reduce your salt intake as part of a healthy diet plan; however, it's
important to stay aware of how much sodium you're consuming on a regular basis so that you
don't accidentally overdo it or end up taking too little in general. This will help keep your bones
strong!
These simple steps will help you keep your bones healthy for
a lifetime
 Exercise. While you may not be able to run a marathon, walking or swimming every day
is a great way to keep your bones healthy. If you're not into exercise, don't worry! Even
just taking the stairs instead of the elevator can make a big difference in your bone health.
 Eat plenty of calcium-rich foods like dairy products and green leafy vegetables like kale
or broccoli. Calcium helps prevent osteoporosis by strengthening bones so they don't
break easily when you fall down or injure yourself—which is probably something that
happens all the time when you're out on adventures with friends!
 Get enough vitamin D from sunlight exposure (outside in direct sunlight) or from food
sources such as fatty fish like salmon; fortified orange juice; eggs; sardines canned in oil
instead soy sauce used during processing due its high cholesterol content which tends
towards an increased risk factor for cardiovascular disease states especially if consumed
regularly over time span longer than four weeks."
Conclusion
In the end, it’s all about keeping your bones healthy and strong for a lifetime. Remember that
there are no shortcuts here—but if you follow through on these five simple steps, you can help
yourself maintain bone strength as well as prevent fractures from happening in the first place!
